He participated in the kickoff meetings, wrote the original story title and scenario, designed the game&#8217;s logo, and attended voice actor auditions and recording sessions. Most strikingly, he created two brand-new protagonist Soul Reapers specifically for this game: <strong>Shirin Migishima<\/strong> and <strong>Shirane Sanari<\/strong>. These are not adapted from manga or anime \u2014 they are original characters existing only in Mirrors High, making this a genuine expansion of the BLEACH universe, not a simple retread.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lW1Wj-KfGhA\" title=\"BLEACH Mirrors High - 2nd Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>BLEACH Mirrors High &#8211; 2nd Trailer \u2014 via [Global] Bandai Namco Entertainment &#8211; Mobile Games on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Gameplay and Platforms<\/h2>\n<p>The game is described as &#8220;immersive 13 Court Guard Squads action&#8221; \u2014 Bandai Namco&#8217;s shorthand for fast-paced Soul Reaper combat.
